This change alters the interface of INIT_SECTION. Previously it was just required that something had called it before you referenced the start/stop symbols. Now there are two things going on:

1. Any references have to be in a scope that can see the INIT_SECTION

call. 2. This is no longer a single statement, so if (foo) INIT_SECTION(name); breaks.

I don’t see why this change is needed, either. It should still be idempotent to set the global multiple times even after your change to add the base address, since that is done to the temporary local variable.

Your formatting here is broken, you have an extra tab on both lines.
